In Roman Catholicism, the dogma that Mary was not tainted by original sin. Early exponents included St. Justin Martyr and St. Irenaeus; St. Bonaventure and St. Thomas Aquinas were among those who opposed it.

In 1854 Pius IX issued a papal bull making it official church dogma. See also Virgin Birth
